The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459

Lucas was right, but Jeremy was still calm.

“We didn’t get registered in time, but we had a wedding. It’s an actual marriage in the eyes of the law. Lucas, I understand that you’re worried about your sister. I will use the rest of my life to compensate your sister for what she lost for me. However, the only thing I can’t give her is marriage and your so-called happiness. I’m sorry.”

Having said that, Jeremy raised his wrist and glanced at this watch. “I’m done with my lunch. I have a meeting later in the afternoon, so I’ll first be taking my leave.”

He stood up, turned around, and left, leaving no room for

argument.

Seeing how unwaveringly cold he was, Lucas could not hold himself back anymore. He stood up angrily and said, “Jeremy! Do you even have a conscience?”

At that time, Anya happened to return with the cake. She saw that Jeremy was about to leave and her brother was angry, but she had no idea what happened. Looking confused, she asked, ” What’s the matter? Where are you going, Jeremy? I’ve brought the cake. Let’s try it together!”

“No need. I have something to take care of.” Jeremy waved calmly before putting his hand in his pocket. He walked past Anya without any expression on his face and left with big strides.

“Jeremy!” Anya called out, feeling reluctant to see him leave. However, Jeremy did not look back or stop in his tracks at all because of that.

Anya was taken aback. Her doe-like eyes widened because of how surprised she was. “What? Corinne applied to be your secretary. Did you hire her?”

Just as Lucas was about to answer her, his phone rang. It was Edmund who called.

Looking at the caller ID, Lucas squinted knowingly. He guessed that the client from Abura completely rejected the collaboration and boarded the plane home.

Abura was a country with the most mineral resources. Losing such a major collaboration would not bring any harm to the company, but it was more or less still a pity.

Lucas frowned and answered the call. Before he even had the time to say hello, Edmund could not hold back his excitement and said, “It’s done, sir! Corinne and the client from Abura have reached a deal. They will go to the company tomorrow morning to sign the contract for collaborating with you for the next ten years!”
